A major benefit to utilizing compressed air is the speed at which it can be shut off and re-energized for use – in fact, this can be done instantaneously. Shutting down the supply of compressed air to an application while it is not needed can drastically reduce the compressed air consumption of the process. This…

With the development of highly efficient air compressors, there’s still a place for the most basic design: the single acting reciprocating compressor. When the piston moves out of the cylinder, it draws air in, at atmospheric pressure. When it moves in to the cylinder, it reduces the volume that air occupies, increasing its pressure. These…
